Bryan was found unresponsive inside a locked and running vehicle by a student in a parking lot outside The Suites dormitories around 11 p.m. Monday, Aug. 25, police said.

Hillsdale College Director of Security and Emergency Management William Whorley said the student notified security of the situation just before 11 p.m. When responding personnel were unable to rouse Bryan, they called 911.

Bryan was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say there is no foul play suspected in Bryan's death and at this time they have found no connection between Bryan and the college.

Hillsdale police were assisted at the scene by the Hillsdale County Sheriff's Office, the Hillsdale City Fire Department and members of the Reading Emergency Unit.

The incident remains under investigation.
